TIFU by trying to scare my boyfriend

Recently, I decided to scare my boyfriend. I wanted to get revenge for the amount of times he has jumped out on me wearing one of those f*ing terrifying Guy Fawkes masks.

He had just started a new job and I was home alone. I found the mask and put it beside me, ready to put it on just as I heard him coming up the corridor. I hadn’t really planned much further ahead than that to be honest.

Several people came in and out of the building and I had no way of knowing whether or not it was him, so I was repeatedly putting the mask on… waiting… and taking it off. After about 10 times I decided I’d just keep it on and put up with it until he got home.

So I sat there with the mask on for a few minutes and couldn’t stop laughing about his imminent reaction. I ended up needing the toilet. For obvious reasons I decided it would be best if I went before he came through the door. So I crept off to the bathroom. Our light is attached to the fan, and not wanting to alert him to the fact I was home I decided to turn on the silent hallway light instead. The light came through the frosted window in the door so I could just about see what I was>Recently, I decided to scare my boyfriend.

When I was done, I approached the sink to wash my hands. Out of habit, I looked up to see myself in the mirror and was greeted by a dimly lit, grinning Guy Fawkes mask that I had momentarily but completely forgotten about. In sheer terror I screamed, fell backwards and almost knocked myself out on the wall before scrabbling to escape from the darkened room… making it all the way back to the living room before realising exactly what I had done. He got home 10 minutes later.

I’ve not tried scaring him since.
